OK, the following applies only if we are indeed talking about housing law, and not anything else!

Decant is offered if a tenant cannot continue to live in a given property, due to the fact that it requires substantial repairs, impossible to carry out in the tenant\'s presence. Decants can be temporary (majority of the cases, but only if the tenant has got \'the right to return\') or permanent (if, for example, the property is being demolished, or the tenant does not have the right to return). Usually in the UK the tenant does not have to exercise the right to return (and choose to remain in the decant property), to minimise disturbance, but that\'s all subject to negotiations in any given case.

warning: a word doc!
Quote, just in case: \"DECANT: tenants can be temporarily moved out of their homes (decanted) to another address if their landlord needs to do a lot of work that is dirty or difficult.\"
